For those outside Brazil, it’s difficult to imagine the significance of Lula’s victory & Bolsonaro’s defeat. This was not a “normal” election between candidates who diverge ideologically in a “normal” democracy, but a battle for democracy & for the soul of the country (1/) 
It’s useful to know Brazil was caught right in the middle of the Cold War and the fight against “communism”. In 1960, João Goulart (pic) was elected on a progressive platform, which made the US exceedingly nervous. In 1964, with the help of the CIA there’s a military coup (2).
Along with (later) dictatorships in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina & Chile, Brazil went through a period of harsh dictatorship with accompanying lack of accountability, rampant corruption and desperately unimaginative & brutal rule. This ended in 1986 after much protest. (3)
